1.
When choosing a kit or
carburetor there’s a few things we would like you to know, please take
a few minutes. Think about how you use your vehicle and what you want to
accomplish. We have kits that range from a stock performance replacement
for a worn out O.E. carb, to absolute race performance carburetors.
There are many differing levels in between like the OUTLAW 38, the
absolute in two-barrel bolt on performance. The performance gains you
receive will come from the choices you make now. Do you
plan to add headers later on? Will
you be rebuilding the motor with bigger pistons and a cam? These
modifications will
affect your choice. 2.
Due to the newer fuels and
the variation of fuels across the country we need to make sure that all
customers know that if they have upgraded any of the system or modified
the engine in any way they will need to do minor calibration
adjustments. Usually these changes will be to the idle circuit, which is
external and readily accessible. REDLINE has a Jet kit available for the
PROGRESSIVE and OUTLAW SERIES carbs. 3.
We have done our best to pre-calibrate all kits; The base line is
for a factory stock motor. On the PROLINE performance kits, due to a
varying level of performance modifications (mild to wild) and because of
the desire of many consumers and a history we have gathered, we under
calibrate the highest performance range, to be street usable. Many
people like the larger 45/48-mm carb's but use them in non-racing
applications. We calibrate all kits for street use and drivability. This
is not to guarantee that no additional calibration will be needed on
these kits. 4.
Always check your factory
fuel system. The REDLINE only requires 2.5 to 3 Lbs. of fuel
pressure. Many newer systems use higher fuel pressures. You will need to
add a fuel pressure regulator to these systems. 5.
When installing a new
carburetor or fuel systems component always install a new fuel filter. 6. The DCOE and IDF ultimate
performance family of carburetor are not compatible with a vacuum
advance distributor system. You will need to recurve your distributor or
adjust the timing to compensate. You may also want to purchase a
performance mechanical distributor. |
